Chapter 81: Immature Advice

"Emperor Qi, Yin Shang of Quyang Mansion presented a fold to the household department, requesting another allocation of silver for disaster relief. Now that the flood has gone, the people are homeless, and the matter of Quyang is imminent. There was almost no prelude, and the matter of Quyang was brought up by King Ping.

This is a big deal for several departments.

If the victims of the disaster are to be resettled, it is necessary for the household department to send money, the military department to send troops, and the Ministry of Industry to build.

If there is really an epidemic, then the trouble will be even greater, and the impact may be on the entire Yanxi.

In this era, it can be said that there is no way to prevent the epidemic at all, and naturally there is no way to cure the epidemic, not only the people, but also the emperor are talking about the epidemic.

Midnight is also rushing, and on the first day of the court, I encountered such a major event. If it were to change to the usual, it would basically be to come in and sit down, and then it meant that everyone would talk about some state affairs together, and in less than half an hour, they would go back to their respective departments and do their own things.

"What do you think?" The emperor glanced around lightly.

Everyone was silent.

The emperor finally fixed his gaze on the Nine Emperor Uncle, who had closed his eyes on the back of the chair, "Ninth brother, what do you think about this matter?" ”

"The silver should be allocated to the silver, the troops should be sent out, and the construction should be built." The Nine Emperor Uncles didn't even open their eyes, not to mention that their movements had changed, and with one sentence, everyone's faces turned green.

To rebuild Quyang, such a big project, the person in charge of the Ministry of Engineering naturally has to follow and take a look, even if it is only for a month or two. But the catastrophe, especially the flood, Yan Xi had a hundred years ago, the flood was not as serious as Quyang, after the disaster was the epidemic, the infected refugees fled outside the capital, and then the gate of the capital was closed, and the refugees were all executed.

Who is present who does not know, if this post-disaster deal is successful, it is a great achievement, not only will it win the favor of the emperor, but also leave the word benevolence in the hearts of the people.

But who is not afraid of death?

If the life is gone, what is the use of keeping the so-called name of benevolence?

It is King Ping, although he is not afraid of these, but he is also embarrassed, "Your Majesty, after Quyang was affected by the disaster, several times in a row, tens of millions of taels of silver have been allocated.

Quyang is played by Yang Fu Yin, there is almost no temporary arable land, the people's mouths must be filled, but the treasury cannot be supplied so indefinitely.

Moreover, military salaries will be paid at the border gates in a few months. ”

King Ping didn't have to say too much, everyone had already understood the meaning, that is, the treasury was not enough silver.

Yan Xi's tax revenue for a year, seven plus eight combined, is only about 100,000 taels of gold, which is inevitable to supply the four military places, and there are others, and it will be enough every year.

Of course, this is a clear account.

Dark, such as corruption, tax fraud, too much money at the border but had to give, and so on.

Therefore, King Ping said that the treasury was not sufficient, and everyone had a rough idea in their hearts, so they were even more silent.

The emperor was furious in his heart, and after glancing around, his eyes finally fixed on one of the only two who had almost no emotional changes. The ninth brother has always been like this, and he is not surprised when he encounters everything, he is used to it. But Xiao Nineteen turned out to be the same, which made him have to look the other way.

"Little Nineteen, what do you suggest?"

Therefore, people's eyes all looked at Midnight in a vague way, that is, the Nine Emperor Uncles, they all opened their unfathomable eyes and looked at Midnight, and there was disapproval written in their eyes that only Midnight could read.

Midnight knew that what he wanted to do, he basically couldn't escape the eyes of the Nine Emperor Uncles, not to mention that the information of the Fu Jiajun was given to him by the Nine Emperor Uncles. It's just that there are some things he has to do.

After silently apologizing to the Nine Emperor Uncles in his heart, Midnight raised his head to look at the emperor, with a confident smile on his face, "Back to the emperor, Midnight is a little immature suggestion." ”

Say. Even if you are wrong, I will acknowledge you. The emperor's tone was tinged with an inaudible urgency.

Of course, it's good to have this, but he is not afraid that the emperor will be angry, because as soon as his opinion comes out, the emperor will not be angry, and that is the knowledge accumulated by China for thousands of years.

"Your Majesty, if the reconstruction and the livelihood of the people are all put on the head of the court, the court will naturally be troubled, this is not to blame, but sometimes it is indeed inadequate."

, who doesn't know this?

Many people showed contempt, King Ping had already said this just now, and the Nineteenth Master just said it better. A literati is a literati, and it is useless to exalt oneself but to exalt oneself.

Even the emperor was a little disappointed, what was he thinking. Nineteen years old is only seventeen, and he has spent almost his whole life fighting against drugs, how can he know the important things of these countries?

Midnight didn't seem to see everyone's look of contempt, "But everyone seems to have forgotten one thing, the home is the people's own home, and the country is the people's own country, why should we exclude the people when we suffer disasters?" ”

Well?

What do you mean?

How did they exclude the people, and they were not discussing how to do things for the people?

"Lord Xian, I don't know what you mean by this?" General Yan was anxious, and the twists and turns of the literati's speech were the most annoying to listen to, if it wasn't for the words that were said in the middle of the night, he would have started scolding.

"General Yan is not in a hurry, listen to what this king says. The strength of a country not only requires the emperor to be the true son of the dragon, the princes all love the people, and the officials do something, but also the mutual unity between the people.

If one side is in trouble, it should support from all sides.

There is silver out of silver, powerful force, Yan Xi is a big country, are you still afraid of a Quyang post-disaster reconstruction? ”

As soon as these words came out in the middle of the night, everyone's eyes lit up.

Indeed, by mobilizing the people of the whole country to support Quyang, the burden of the country will be lighter.

It's just that......

"Nineteenth brother, your opinion is indeed very good, but manpower is easy to find, and those merchants may not be willing to give out money." It was King Ping who asked the question. He has been dealing with silver almost all his life since he was sensible, and he doesn't know the face of those people who keep money.

Midnight smiled brighter and brighter, "That's because the second brother didn't use the right method, businessmen in addition to wealth, they are more important to fame, because with wealth, they want to promote the people."

Then let's set up merit monuments in various states and cities, as long as a person who has merit in the imperial court, even if he is a merchant with the lowest status, his name can be engraved on the merit monument.

The amount of silver and how much material the merchant donated is all recorded on it, so that not only can the merchant compete for the quantity, but also make them embarrassed to donate less. The officials of each city and each city would also compare this with each other to force the merchants to take action.

As for manpower, there is no need for the whole country to come to help, and the people affected by the disaster in Quyang are the biggest resource.

They are homeless, and if we rebuild their homes, they will not only be able to work for themselves, but will also be able to eat and live. ”

Everyone looked at Midnight's gaze, and this time it was really like looking at the gods.

Take it from the people, use it for the people, this method is not a good way to describe it in three words!
